Just regular, legal shorting and if the company goes bk, you never buy back the shares for the cover. They wouldn't trade and have no value. You are correct!<<<<<<<<<<<<<Ok so..A professional trader(probably).. hits his target price(0001)and doesnt buy(cover)his shares and take his profit? What..he leaves them there because he enjoys the security of 0% interest? NOPE,Thats a stretch..
